Hey guys,

I'm in need of some serious assistance here.

The worker process on a web site I am developing is bombing constantly (something like 10 times within 1 hour last night) I noticed this over the weekend when I was trying to develop something that uses sessions and the session information kept disappearing.. then our ADO constants started screwing up. I looked at the event viewer and there are the following messages frequently appearing:

Faulting application w3wp.exe, version 6.0.3790.3959, faulting module ntdll.dll, version 5.2.3790.3959, fault address 0x0004afb2.

I've been reading up on it but I'm totally lost - I'm not what you'd call a system admin!

Would someone be so kind as to walk me through the troubleshooting here??

Thanks!

Sincerely,
Mark

Suggest you remove what you were developing. Here is an article that may help:

Ideally you should have three environments, but at the very least have a separate dev/test box with same platform. Saves hours of tears and frustrations.
